Conrad Notes.

M. S. Wearley, who was in town last
week from Conrad, Informed us that 50 far
as known there are not now any Bloods in
that vicinity. 1t was supposed for awhile
that. Sol Abbott's horses had been stolen
by them, but they were afterwards foVnd.
Ex-Sheriff McDevitt, the owner Of Con-
rad and now one of the cattle kings of
that section, has been 'Erustling" like a
good fellow the past winter and as result
can round up most of the cattle he drove
in last fall. His loss will be very light.
While making drive of logs down the
Marias a few days ago he hurt his back
severely, but is now recovering from ttae
effects of the injury. He will be in tow n
in few weeks.
Mr.. Wearey says the losses of stock are
not as great in the vicinity Of Conrad as
was expected and not nearly as heavy IS
in the region farther up the river.

at Miles City on the 10Th, about 100 mem
bers being present. The secretary's re-
port was read and approved after some

unwise at this time. The following Off
GERS for the ensuing year were elected:
President-Joe Scott, Of Miles City.
First Vice President-B. T. Potts, OF
Helena.
Second Vice President-Wm. Harmon,
of Miles City.
Secretary and Treasurer. B. Harri-
son, of Helena.
The executive committee, containing a
representation for Idaho, Wyoming and
Dakota, as we'll as every county i'll Mo Il
tana, consisted of nearly fifty names, and
the whole ticket was declared elected.
A resolution was introduced condemning
the Interstate act but was promptly Ia

prophets say it will be built to Colby,

think it will accompany the B. & n. up

cause of the great haste of the B. 4 n.

Cream d Food and Medicine.

Persons consumptively inclined, those
with feeble digestion, aged people, and
those inclined to chillness and cold ex-
tremities, are especially benefited BY
liberal use of sweet cream. No other
article of food or medicine will give them
results equally satisfactory, and either as
food or medicine it is not bad to take.
As an antidote for tendency to consump-
ton it acts like charm, and serves all
the purposes intended to be served by
cod liver oil with much greater certainty
and effect Where sweet cream can be had
cod-liver oil is never needed. The VIOLA
tile and easily appropriated unctuous mat
ter in cream, besides contributing directly
to warmth and vigor, aids indirectly by
promoting digestion, for the same reason
and in the same way that other aromatic
and attenuated oils aid the digestive
function.
While cream has special merits for GER
tam kinds of invalids, there are no objec-
tons to its use by any or all persons. 1t
10 an innocent, palatable, nutritious
luxury for everybody at all times. 1t is
one of the special blessings that serve to
beautify the lives of dairymen, and which
might very properly be used by them and
by all others who produce milk much
more frequently that it is now, and would,
no doubt, meet with a more liberal use
but for the impression many have that it
is an expensive luxury they cannot afford !;
yet it often happens that many, who, for
this reason, restrict themselves in the use
of cream use butter. a still more ex-
pensive luxury, with lavish hands For
the most part, butter is only a
luxury, while cream is always a highly
nutritious and lite sustaining food
as we'll as luxury, and hence the more
economical OF the two. Somehow the i'm
preston seems to prevail with most milk
producers that the one great and only legit-
innate end of milk and its cream is to make
butter, and sense of waste and misuse
involuntarily arise whenever either is used
for any other purpose; while. in fact but
ter making is the least useful purpose tor
which milk is employed. A moments
reflection ought to make it clear that cream
is more economical and valuable than but
ter, since it is equal to both butter aud
buttermilk. There is more tat in cream
than in the butter that is made from it.
Cream never churns perfectly. A part OF
its tat is always left back in the butter
milk and is lost unless the butter
milk is also used.-N. Y. Tribune.
